California Fish and Game Commission November 1, 1994

c/o Robert Treanor, Executive Director

1416 Ninth Street

Sacramento, CA 95814

Dear Mr. Treanor:

Please advise the Commission that the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance supports the Department of Fish and Game's recommendation to set a closure on steehead fishing in the Eel River.

Steelhead trout populations in the Eel River are so low that the Department should start naming the fish and not counting them.

Respectfully Submitted
